Sunday

So remember when I promised yesterday that I wouldn't eat any desserts today? Well guess what...no surprise...I failed again. I couldn't help it, our friends brought us stinking chocolate lava cake with our dinner and I couldn't resist! Dang it! BUT ok that was the last time that someone was scheduled to bring us dinner and the cakes are gone so I really don't have any more excuses! SO new week = new goals...tomorrow...for real this time...no dessert!

Breakfast:
Strawberries

Lunch:
Sandwich: Cheddar, avacado, tomato, spinach, mustard on whole wheat
goldfish

Snack:
blondie with ice cream

Dinner:
Salmon
Caesar salad
1 pc garlic bread
Chocolate lava cake with ice cream

Dang it! I'd have a pretty healthy diet if I could just stop eating the stinking desserts! They're really the only think keeping me fat. So do I want ice cream or do I want to lose weight? The choice is mine! Maybe that will help!

So I've been thinking...The only person that can make me fat is myself. No one else has any control whatsoever over what I eat. Yes, I can be influenced by others, but ultimately, whatever goes in my mouth is in my control. Therefore, the only person who has any control over whether or not I lose weight is me. So often I want to blame someone or something else on why I can't lose weight. These people always want to eat this, or this is in the house so I have to eat it, or I don't want others to feel bad for eating unhealthily so I will too just to avoid awkwardness. Well, my friends, that time is over. I am eating only for myself and whatever I choose to eat is what I'll eat no matter what or who else is involved. I'm tired of being fat. I'm tired of my clothes not fitting. I'm tired of saying "I'll do better tomorrow" or "I'll eat this now and pig out but not eat anything later" (which never happens, I always eat something later). Yes, exercise helps me to eat healthier because I feel better and want to eat healthier to make exercise easier, but I can't help that I can't exercise right now and that should not be an excuse to eat whatever I want. I can have control over eating desserts. It just takes a little will power and discipline and determination. All of which I can have with just a little bit of effort. SO, enough is enough, I am officially starting this healthier eating and WILL lose my goal weights!

Tomorrow, my goal is to not eat any dessert. I can make it one day, right?!!
